I hereby certify that Robert Delemore alias Elmore who has applied for a pension is miserably poor & destitute, that he has had no property to dispose of since the 18 th of March 1818 of any consequence. — The whole amount of property which he has owned at any one time since that period has not exceeded in value twelve or fifteen dollars. And that he is so old & infirm as to be incapable of attending before the proper officials to make an amended declaration & to prove to procure them to come to him. This certificate is given to dispense with the necessity of an Amended declaration in this case. He has been some times called Elmore & some time Delemore as he states & there can be no doubt of his being the person named in the Jersey Roll which entirely corresponds with his statement.
